Bubble tea(also known as pearlmilk tea,bubble milk tea, orboba) is a tea-based drink that originated in Taiwanin in the early 1980s. It most commonly consists of tea accompanied by chewy tapioca balls("boba" or "pearls"), but it can be made with other toppings as well.
Bubble tea, also known as boba milk tea, is a cold, frothy beverage made with a tea base and flavors, sweeteners, and/or milk, as well as tapioca pearls at the bottom. The use of a fat straw is needed.
It all begins with a base of tea, which we make with our gourmet loose leaf teas. Then we apply flavorings and sweeteners. A creamy portion, such as milk, almond milk, or non-dairy creamers, is added to a Milk Tea. Clear Teas are just that: clear teas with no cream applied. When all of the ingredients are combined, the drink is vigorously shaken! This makes the drink frothy, giving it the appearance of bubbles on top... hence the term bubble tea.
